A spectacular crash, in the mode of the conclusion of the car-chase
scene in the movie Bullitt and many subsequent
imitators (compare die horribly). The construction
crash-and-burn machine is reported
for a computer used exclusively for alpha or beta
testing, or reproducing bugs (i.e., not for development). The implication
is that it wouldn't be such a disaster if that machine crashed, since only
the testers would be inconvenienced.
